For those that like fast paced basketball games, you would have enjoyed Tuesday's matchup between Northeastern Junior College and Northwest Kansas Technical College. The two teams played an uptempo contest all night in the Bank of Colorado Event Center. In the end, the high-speed style of play favored NKTC, as they defeated NJC 98-87.

After the first 10 minutes, NJC held a 22-16 lead. That lead didn't last for long. Midway through the second quarter NKTC went on a 22-4 run to take a 42-31 lead. It was a lead they never relinquished.

Jennae Fieldgrove led NJC with 27 points. Fieldgrove knocked down three 3-pointers and finished the night 10-15 from the floor.

Katie Diakhaby recorded a double-double. She finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds. She also blocked five shots.

NJC is currently on a three-game losing streak and 6-8 overall. The Plainswomen won't be back on the hardwood until, Saturday, Jan. 7, against Lamar Community College inside the Bank of Colorado Event Center.
